Another question on Converter sizes
There is another active thread regarding converter sizes, but I get lost in the wealth of detail offered here. I have a simple question: I have a PD 9200 , 45 amp converter, two Trojan T105 batteries ...

This is losing contact with reality as far as GENERATOR run time. With shore power, who cares?
If I walk out to my toad and start it the much touted BOOST (or is it BOOOST?) voltage appears. Regulator alternator charging voltage. Does the charging system on the car sag to "regular" charging voltage of 13.6? Hell no.
Tens of thousands of RV batteries are destroyed every year because boondockers believe that converter manufacturers specify is gospel
What's gospel about their mantra is that they cannot be sued for purposely overcharging a battery.
This reminds me of California's banning of battery CHARGERS in favor of socialist inspired government mandate to undercharge batteries and a (what?) thirty or forty times charger failure rate (landfill) as being environmentally preferable. Oooooo a timer on the charger who wudda thought of that.
The only way to achieve rational battery life when BOONDOCKING is to know for sure the battery state-of-charge.
A 20-amps per 100 amp hour bank, solar system with a good grade of solar controller seems to be the only antidote to the fallacy of smart chargers via generator WHEN BOONDOCKING.
